Transport<\/a> Planning Team and Biodiversity Team all objected to the plans.\n<\/p>\n\n The report \u2013 being put before councillors on Wednesday \u2013 states PKC\u2019s Development Plan Team objects to the proposal to build so many homes on green belt land and \u201cadvised that ad hoc and unplanned approval of such development in the green belt could set a significant precedent and place pressure for development on other parts of Perth\u2019s Green Belt\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n Transport Planning also objected because the submitted Transport Assessment did not consider the potential impacts of the proposed supermarket on Necessity Brae \u201con the assumption that it was quashed following judicial review\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n In June 2025 councillors voted \u2013 for the third time \u2013 for Aldi to replace its Glasgow Road store with a larger store on Necessity Brae. Previous plans were subjected to a judicial review \u2013 following a legal challenge by Tesco \u2013 and the Court of Session quashed Aldi\u2019s planning permission on April 26, 2024.\n<\/p>\n
\n PKC\u2019s Biodiversity Team also objected to Craigie Hill Golf Club\u2019s plans due to the loss of 0.35 hectares of native upland mixed ashwood and habitat loss and \u201cinsufficient information\u201d on why the loss could not be avoided, reduced, or compensated for.\n<\/p>\n
\n As a result, officers have recommended councillors refuse the proposal on the grounds of: no reasoned justification for a development of this scale on Perth\u2019s green belt; insufficient information on the loss of trees and habitat, and due to the existing access and proposed emergency access to the site both being on or near to areas at risk of flooding.\n<\/p>\n
\n However Craigie Hill Golf Club previously said \u201cstatus quo is not an option\u201d at a time when Scotland is losing community golf clubs.\n<\/p>\n
\n After lodging the plans last year, club captain and Transition Board member Dave Mitchell said: \u201cThe status quo is not an option. Two golf clubs have closed recently in Scotland. These proposals present a one-off opportunity to create a sustainable future for Craigie Hill and ensure the local community can enjoy the leisure provision for years to come.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Perth and Kinross councillors will meet in the council chambers \u2013 to consider the plans and reach a decision \u2013 on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The proposal was submitted in a bid to secure the long-term future of the club but councillors have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":411107,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4106],"tags":[2826,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-411106","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115175774217221411","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=411106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411106\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/411107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=411106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=411106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=411106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
